Take a listen to the anthemic title track from ‘Queens of the Breakers,’ the forthcoming album by The Barr Brothers (to be released October 13 on Secret City Records).

The Barr Brothers are also thrilled to announce that they will join The War On Drugs for a 17 date run of UK and Europe dates in November, playing massive venues – this marks their second time touring with the band. Andrew Barr explains that given this opportunity, their own headlining tour has been moved to the winter of 2018 :

“To our dear friends in Europe and the UK, The Barr Brothers have accepted an offer from The War On Drugs to open their European and UK tour in November. We are moving our own headlining tour to January/February 2018. All current tickets will be honored; refunds available if desired. Thanks to all of our fans for your patience in letting us take this opportunity. And sorry that we’ll have to wait even longer to have you singing with us on this tour.”

And, the playlists are up! Check out what rocked in January, via all your favourite platforms (Rdio, Soundcloud, Spotify and Youtube). This past month started off 2015 in a great way with some killer tunes from Favela, Satellite Stories, Hey Rosetta!, Kagu, The Barr Brothers and many more.

“Love Ain’t Enough” by The Barr Brothers from the album Sleeping Operator. Animated and directed by Dustin Grella, this video was filmed through one continuous shot of 50 cardboard cut-outs and 15 paintings, totalling 2100 frames. Speaking about the video, Grella shared: “After listening to ‘Love Ain’t Enough’ just a few times I really had this sense that it was a journey and I was traveling into a city or countryside that was unfamiliar, but in a peaceful, confident way, not a fearful way. The more I listened to it the more it brought about the idea of the hero’s journey and about how we are all passing through life and at so many points we find ourselves in unfamiliar terrain, only retrospectively to see them as moments of growth”.
